Coutinho happy to open Liverpool contract talks

Philippe Coutinho has declared he's ready to discuss new terms with Liverpool.

The 22-year-old signed a five-year deal with the Reds in January 2013, committing to the club until 2018, but Brendan Rodgers revealed in August he hopes to reward the Brazilian with a bumper deal.

"I'd be happy to analyse a new contract," the Brazilian said.

"It is very important for me to play in the Champions League but staying does not rely only on that.

"It relies on other things, like being happy."
